This is one unprovoked attack police won't be investigating. Jogging up Mt Ainslie during his lunch break on Thursday, 25-year-old David Striegl was king-hit from nowhere by a kangaroo and knocked unconscious and he has a black eye to prove it.

I have to say that while I feel sorry for the jogger I have been very amused by this story. Talk about getting ones own back with all the kangaroo culling that has been attempted in canberra

Remember the Boxing Kanagroos !- Anyway I am really not very surprised. Kangaroos can be very unpredicatable.. I am sorry for the injuries of the jogger- but it really is very] amusing- animals getting back at us! this is a change from our picking on them !!

Yes kangaroos can be dangerous especially when they feel threatened or are deliberately provoked. I am from Canberra and always walked my dog on a leash for that exact reason. However sometimes one has to find some humour in life and David certainly did once he had recovered. I am not a mean person and understand the nature of the attack....
